The radical notion -- Why not run -- When women run -- Critical mass -- Women belong in the house ... and in the senate (but how do we get -- Them there?).

Despite making up roughly half the world s population, women make up slightly more than 20 percent of the members of the world s legislative bodies. In a list of 163 nations ordered by the number of women in legislatures, Canada is ranked 64th and the United States 97th. Featuring engaging profiles of women leaders and a thoughtful examination of why women are underrepresented (emphasizing the US and Canada), this inspiring resource encourages readers to think about what the world would be like with more women leaders and how that might be accomplished, as well as empowers girls to seek leadership positions.
